    I was driving home from work Friday in my Model 3 performance and thinking how much I loved driving the car. From the way the steering wheel feels in my hand to the effortless and instant power response. That feeling you have when you're stopped at a red light and you know whoever is next to you you can just smoke their ass. :) For anybody that thinks electric cars will take away the enjoyment of driving have obviously never driven a model 3. This is one purchase that I never had any buyers remorse and will never go back to ice.

    The funny thing is that everyone else know you can wax them so no one ever wants to race off the light or try to cut in front of you on a ramp. They just back off or pull over and let you pass. As a result I drive less aggressively in my Tesla.

    I’m not sure if they are aware that you can smoke them or they just don’t notice the car at all. Where I live I suspect it’s the latter

    Why aren't you here complaining. Just what kind of thread is this? Are you for real?

    Nah he did, based on the way he nearly skidded back into the other lane! I smiled and just continued.

    I should get a health insurance discount. No matter how shitty my day at work, the drive home makes me happy.

    Except i've found i get very angry/stressed at the LA traffic which stops me from enjoying the drive :)

    Nothing like a wide open road when they rarely appear, though

    you don't "smoke" anyone. If they want to beat your little car they won't rock up in a Corolla but would get a lambo. you are simply sitting in traffic with everyone else.

    My favorite thing is how smooth and quiet they drive but then having instant power whenever you need it. I drove my wife's ICE SUV the other day, and it was awful. The thing is a turd.
